Danny Baker introduces the show; after taking treatment against cancer early in 2011, he's bounced back with even more energy and vigour than ever. He introduces a panel of three celebrities, the sort who will provide entertaining conversation at 11 o'clock of a Sunday morning - one sample panel was Richard Madeley, and comedians Susan Calman and Dan Maier. Each panelist is playing "on behalf of" their old school, though this only amounts to giving the scores in the form "Dan Maier of the Royal Grammar School in Newcastle has six House Points".

The main part of the show is based around a quiz, itself loosely themed on lessons found in a school timetable. A week's line-up could be Economics, Social Studies, Geography, History, Mathematics, English Lit, Art, and History. "Why? Because history repeats itself," the show's best nod towards a catchphrase.

As is traditional in Danny Baker shows, the conversation is gently steered away from hard news towards the left-field, the unexpected, and half-forgotten pop culture nuggets. There are occasional flights of fancy, anecdotes from panel and host, but the quiz is never entirely forgotten, and a winner is declared at the end of the hour.

The show is typical Danny Baker - it rolls along merrily, and while the details won't be remembered by nightfall, the warm glow of being entertained does last.
